Opening
A. Engage the Learner – W.6.3a (5 minutes)
Repeated routine: Follow the same routine as previous lessons to distribute and review Entrance Ticket: Unit 3, Lesson 7.
Repeated routine: Follow the same routine as the previous lessons to review learning targets and the purpose of the lesson, reminding students of any learning targets that are similar or the same as previous lessons.
Turn and Talk:
“What do you think you will be doing in this lesson based on these learning targets?” (We are going to be planning how we’ll incorporate our characters into the scene we have chosen, what will stay the same, and what can change without impacting the way the original scene ends.)
Tell students that before they begin planning their narratives, they will read an excerpt from the final chapter of the novel.
Work Time
A. Read The Lightning Thief, Chapter 22 Excerpt – RL.6.1 (20 minutes)
Repeated routine: Read aloud the selected excerpt, using Text Guide: The Lightning Thief for comprehension and vocabulary questions as needed. Students continue to record the gist on sticky notes, unpack and record unfamiliar vocabulary, and reflect on their reading as they choose. Refer to the following resources as appropriate to support this section of the lesson: Gist Record: The Lightning Thief anchor chart (example for teacher reference), vocabulary logs, chapter synopsis, and Work to Become Ethical
People anchor chart.
Excerpt: Read from page 361 (“Don’t think about leaving yet”) to page 372 (“Your time
will come”).
Gist: Luke reveals himself as the thief helping Cronus to start the war between gods. Grover leaves for his quest, Annabeth goes home with her father and stepmother, and Percy returns to his mother for the school year.
Direct students to the Work to Become E ective Learners anchor chart. Congratulate them on showing perseverance as they worked through a long and complex text. Note that completing an entire book in English may be an especially exciting accomplishment for ELLs; allow opportunities for celebration and reflection.
Invite students to share their reactions and reflections of the book now that they’ve finished.
